Dear Conventioneers:
I want to welcome everyone to the 54th annual conference and convention of the American Council of the Blind here in exciting Dallas, Texas. I am looking forward to presiding over my second convention as president of ACB, and to speak with so many members and guests from across the country and, in fact, from around the world.
The theme of the 2015 convention is "ACB: Where the Stars Shine Bright.”
This is a great theme for this year's convention since we are in the state where all the stars shine brighter than anywhere else…
Many, many thanks to our 2015 corporate sponsors. Their continued generous support of the American Council of the Blind and our conference and convention is sincerely appreciated.
Look for the 2015 corporate sponsors on www.acb.org, in the conference and convention program and newspaper, on ACB Radio, on the convention T-shirt, and throughout the week. Be sure to thank them personally for their generous support.
Double Diamond Sponsor:
- Vanda Pharmaceuticals – Crown Jewel Sponsor
